You misunderstand. Winget doesnt keep its own database of installed software and their version, it uses the system's database, the same one that is used for the Add/Remove Programs/Settings dialogs. If the version is being misreported by winget, its because the app failed to properly update the value in the registry like its supposed to. |

For example, winget shows me this:
Name Id Version Available Source
--------------------------------------------------------
OBS Studio OBSProject.OBSStudio 29.0.2 29.1.3 winget
However, the currently installed version of OBS is 29.1.3.
How do I get winget to rescan installed apps and their versions?
